3.3 Community Indifference Curves
Problems
The distribution of income is held constant when
drawing community indifference curves, and a
different income distribution could result in very
different curves.
Trade can change the distribution of income
significantly, and thus expansion of trade may cause
intersecting indifference curves and unclear effects on
social welfare.
Compensation principle: the nation benefits from trade if the
winners would be better off even after compensating the
losers.
